Do you need to replace a sick engine or do you like to upgrade to a more high performance engine?

the stock engine code is DAJ (i believe both manual and dsg are interchangeable) ea888 gen 3

the seat ibiza, audi a1 are the same engine. The issue with using one from a different car is it may use a different gearbox so your stock gearbox won't fit (polo uses 02M equivalent where the others probably use 02Q)

crank walk on the original engine?

Car decide to go off road and wanted to stand on a big rock exactly under the engine. Havent looked at the car so much yet, but thinked just in case which car i can take engine from. Sadly Ibiza and a1 isnt that cheap as the passat, a3, a4 with 1.8tfsi or 2.0 tfsi.

they will probably be the types of cars with different gearbox which may fit but then the drive shafts may not fit.

i would of thought that there isn't much difference in the engine price ?

Code of gearbox should be in your manual
First page sticker, or in the boot next to your sparewheel

The manual gearbox code in mine is QQR, which is an 0A8 MQ350. From my own research for other things like short shifters and diffs the 0A8 is apparently somewhat different to the other gearboxes in the MQ350 family but what those differences are I don't know.

I know the QQR transmission is physically smaller, to fit the Polo engine bay in, comparison to other MQ350 gearboxes

Seems it's the same housing but different gear ratios
